No more promotion from the site you showed. It's better to buy @ official site because that will guarantee BWE access.

Beta Weekend Event will last for 2 days and 12 hours... Theres no Open Beta.. You have to pre-purchase the game in full payment to get access to all Beta Weekend Event..

Repost

lol how come i use debit card pre-purchase the standard version 59.99 usd it charge me RM195 ? =.= is tat the exchange rate abit high ?

Paypal seems a bit high, ye.. I think I used Maybank's conversion rate when I bought this, RM190-ish as well ahahahaha.

And no, there are no open beta. But, from the two hours I spent in the stress test, I do believe that, while it is still unfinished and unpolished in some cases, it is 60 USD well spent for me.

...it depends of what you want out of the game though . I can only say from my POV (Mainly PvE, with PvP as a side dish, but not the main course. Don't want to relive the WoW-days, where it is a race to get to max-level and start downing bosses in raids. RL commitments means limited playing time as well)


EDIT

Definitely. I got pings as high as 1 second when I am using VPN to play this. There are some hairy moments and some deaths when I was playing my sword/Pistol Mesmer. I switched it back to Staff Mesmer (ranged) to alleviate this. but I am going to try without VPN and try to see how much BW will it consume on my broadband on a whole day stint.



There is a video somewhere, that says GW2 combat system is as complicated as you want it to be. There are no rights or wrongs in the PvE-side, where you can play as you like it. Weapon choices between classes makes it a ranged or melee heavy, and also makes it primarily a nuker, support, or control. Keep in mind, you yourself are in charge of your own health bar! Everybody can help, some more than other (Water Elementalist, I am looking at you!) but it is not enough to sustain you like a tank.



You can take your own sweet time with this. Of course, there is the grind to get yourself to max-level. But they designed (and I still wish that they keep at it) that it would take static time to up a level. (around 1-2 hours per level, on every level after 10. If I am not mistaken)

Of course, it all depends what you expect from the game though! The PvE-side seems like to cater to someone who plays casually, who wants no pressure in reaching max-level and enjoys the game, while at the same time also feel the thrill of big boss fights, which is exactly to my current liking.

PS: If you are the explorer type, you WILL like this game. The world is HUGE!!! 2 hours in the stress test and I barely scratched the human starting area, and the human city was so big I got lost and confused.

never check live rates ke? usd rising steadily.

http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=MYR
live rates 1.00 USD = 3.20240 MYR

your rates:
195 / 59.99 = 3.25054176

ur debit card charges only extra RM 0.05 which is considered cheap already.
bank credit card charges usually around RM 0.09 extra.

for example, if live rate was 1 usd = 3.05 MYR, then local bank credit card 's rate would be 1 usd = 3.15 myr like that. approximately.


u seldom buy things online in USD is it?

thx bro , obviously this is my 1st time using debit card online shopping =.= and i tot the exchange rate still 3.1 ..... coz 1 of my fenz told me , he only kena charge RM186.
so i tot i kena extra charge or wat. but know i understand oledi , thx for the explanation .

all right. thanks for understanding!

many people believe that live rates = actual rates.

Just purchased this game, and I have no basic on this game.

I don't even have any experience with GW1!

But this is a good read. I'd suggest you take time reading through it, with a calm state of mind. It is called MASS INFO.

someone from mmochamp posted that there was a huge update on the game. 82k files, at around 4gb-ish size.

Have to try it tonight.

got new updates! and its HUGE! 5GB worth update!!

GW2-er starts ur launcher and updates!



Try to put the GW2.exe in a folder.. GW2 beta folder should consist 3 or 4 files.. the GW2.exe, GW2.dat and some other files that I forgot.. all the important data is in your GW2.dat and only that file is bigger.. try search the files first then put them in the same folder and try start GW2.exe again see how it goes
